Crib Quilt c. 1940

This "Crib Quilt," dated c. 1940, is a beautiful example of American folk art. The quilt features a simple yet elegant design of six eight-pointed stars set against a dark blue background. A wide border of peach-colored fabric frames the central pattern, adding a touch of warmth and vibrancy. The quilt is a testament to the skill and artistry of anonymous makers who crafted these beautiful and functional objects for everyday life. American quilts, especially those made in the early 20th century, are often considered to be expressions of both creativity and practicality.
